The demo video, via RetroSound, demonstrates the rare Tiracon 6V analog synthesizer from the year 1987.
RetroSound’s Marko Ettlich notes that the Tiracon 6V is a polyphonic synth keyboard that was made in GDR. “I saw this synthesizer first at the Leipziger autumn fair in 1987. It was the second synth made in GDR after the monophonic Vermona Synthesizer from 1982.”
Features:
- 6 voice polyphonic ( 6 voice cards)
- 8-bit prozessor U880 (Zilog Z80)
- VCO: saw & square , combinied
- VCF: 24 dB low-pass with resonance
- 3 LFO: VCO, VCF and pulsewidth
- 2 track sequencer
- chord-memory
If you’ve used the Tiracon 6V synthesizer, leave a comment and share your thoughts on it!
Another great specimen from behind the curtain. Not to sound facetious but I can’t help expressing my appreciation for someone with that many synths who uses an ironing board for a stand.
and this is the joke 🙂
ironing board? where? this is a irony board. lol 🙂
A commie analog poly synth! I want one!!
And about the ironing board – the struggle is real! If you start collecting vintage synths you’ll run out of things to put them on sooner or later!
I have one for sale, and a lot of new spare parts on top.

how are all those organ sounds coming out of something purely analog…id say theres gotta be some sample waveforms in there surely….
the sound character is almost a bit organ like. combinied waveforms

When I first read the title, I thought the synthesizer itself ran off of six volts of power.
